Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Turkish playmaker in recent weeks, with Spanish outlet AS suggesting that Jose Mourinho has met with the player on several occasions.

And now Sport claim the Catalan club would be prepared to allow Turan to walk for free in order to end his nightmare stay in Catalonia.

Mourinho is understood to be keen on bringing another winger in to the club during the transfer window, with a move for Inter’s Ivan Perisic now looking increasingly unlikely.

The above footage demonstrates how Turan could be the perfect man to fill the void, showing his full range of attacking capabilities.

Preferring to operate on the left side, the 30-year-old is renowned for his dribbling ability and close control – but also possess pinpoint crossing ability that would serve star striker Romelu Lukaku perfectly.

United fans reacted to news of the potential signing on Twitter today, urging the club to go ahead with a move – if they can acquire the former Atletico man for nothing.

“Can’t argue with getting the lad for free,” said one fan.
